Good, you can tell that it's a little bit stiffer...we're feeling small bumps, cracks, RR crossings, and whatnot more. But, it's more planted and doesn't compress nearly as much as before over larger bumps/swells.

We took the burb to a friend's shop and got the front-end aligned. Nate wanted to see camber at 0, caster at 5, and toe in at 1/8 per side...the UCA studs weren't long enough to stack the amount of shims needed to get there.

See pic below for where we ended up at.

It seems to drive well, but we'll probably work on getting longer upper arm studs in at some point.
